The lengths of the parallel sides of a trapezium are 10 cm and 20 cm. If the distance between these parallel lines is 5 cm, then what is the area of the trapezium?
area of the trapezium = $$\frac{1}{2}\times$$ sum ofĀ theĀ lengths of the parallel sides of a trapeziumĀ $$\times$$Ā distance between parallel sides
The lengths of the parallel sides of a trapezium are 10 cm and 20 cm. If the distance between these parallel lines is 5 cm.
area of the trapezium = $$\frac{1}{2}\times(10+20)\times5$$
= $$\frac{1}{2}\times 30 \times5$$
=Ā $$15\times5$$
= 75Ā $$cm^2$$
